It was Xiaoqi's first time flying and he was quite nervous.
I don't know where to get the ticket, whether I need to check the ticket or something.
But fortunately, there are people around me.
She didn't have much luggage, just a backpack with two sets of clothes, a Spanish textbook because she was a beginner and not very proficient yet, and some paper and pen for practicing calligraphy and drawing.
I didn't take the suitcase. The suitcase was bought for me by my aunt in Lushan City. However, after using it once, the quality was a bit questionable. One of the wheels was crooked, probably because there were too many things in it and they were too heavy. Xiaoqi half-carried it for the rest of the journey. Even if I took the suitcase, I was not sure if I could take it on the plane.
Do I need to check in or something? Anyway, I don’t really understand. It’s better to just carry a backpack. I can definitely take it with me.
When they arrived at the airport, Xiaoqi saw that the coach was carrying an extra-large 28-inch suitcase, while the president was carrying a small 20-inch trolley case.
The coach's suitcase needs to be stored, but the president's suitcase can be taken on the plane.
Just like taking the high-speed rail, you have to pick up the ticket first, but not at any window. There are corresponding windows, and there are signs inside the airport. They bought tickets from China Eastern Airlines. Before Xiaoqi came, Yunshu asked her to download an APP called "Air Travel" on her mobile phone. After entering her information, she would get the specific information of her flight number, which window to pick up the ticket, what time to take off, whether there would be any delays, etc.
When they arrived at the China Eastern Airlines window, Xiao Qi was lucky not to rush to queue up, because the president actually bought a business class ticket for them. They could go to the first class/business class window to queue up. There were basically no people there, so they quickly checked in their luggage and got their tickets.
Then I went through security check. There were fast lanes for first class and business class. There were much fewer people there, unlike the economy class queues which were like snakes.
Although it was his first time taking a plane, Xiaoqi also felt that it was really good to be rich. No wonder so many people worked hard to make money and experience it in all aspects. Different channel windows, although only a little bit faster, probably gave him a completely different sense of superiority in comparison.
However, after she learned about the price comparison between business class and economy class, she felt a little nervous again. A business class ticket costs more than 1,800 yuan, while an economy class ticket can be bought for more than 500 yuan. If you buy it a few days earlier, you can still get it for more than 300 yuan.
After passing security and entering the airport, I didn't go directly to wait for the plane, but went to the China Eastern Airlines VIP lounge at the airport.
The VIP lounge is very large, with computers, tables and chairs for resting, and plenty of food, like a simplified version of the hotel's buffet breakfast, and there is even a chef there cooking noodles.
Steven ordered a bowl of satay noodles and asked Xiaoqi if he wanted one. Xiaoqi nodded stupidly.
Then we went to get the buffet. Although it was a simple meal, it looked good. Most importantly, Xiaoqi thought the food smelled fresh. She got a sandwich, beef with green peppers, yogurt, Kung Pao chicken, and some fruit.
Xiao Shengzhou only poured himself a cup of coffee. He usually rarely eats in the lounge.
Seeing Steven ordering hot shacha noodles, Xiao Qi grabbed a huge amount of food...
It's a bit funny for some reason. I ate this as a full meal. It was almost evening and there were meals on the plane as well.
Xiaoqi was a little hungry, so he ate noodles first and then the other food. He thought it tasted pretty good.
Steven also ate like crazy. He liked satay noodles and he also had a glass of wine. He and Xiaoqi basically communicated in English, and Xiaoqi got used to it and practiced his spoken English at the same time.
It was a good thing that it was like this, otherwise they would have received a lot of cold stares from the people around them, as if they had never been to the VIP lounge before. They ate too much and spoke English. The Chinese people were suddenly much more tolerant and took the initiative to find many excuses for them, thinking that Xiaoqi was also a foreigner.
Xiao Shengzhou was tempted by the two of them, so he broke his image of a business elite who only drank coffee and ordered a bowl of satay noodles.
It's hot, and after eating it, my stomach feels warm, which is quite comfortable.
After eating and taking a short rest, we were prompted to board the plane.
Xiaoqi was quite nervous, worried that he would miss the plane or not hear the notice or something.
Fortunately, the VIP lounge staff came to inform us which plane was ready to board, and we reserved time to go there.
I followed the president and the coach to the boarding gate, and there was already a long queue.
Because I was in business class, I enjoyed the convenience of going in through a side aisle first...
The queue behind is still long.
Xiaoqi followed him in. The business class seats were actually the first three rows of the plane.
The first row is reserved for first class, and the second and third rows are for business class.
The slight difference is that the business class has four seats in a row with an aisle in the middle, while the economy class at the back has six seats in a row, which appears slightly smaller.
Xiaoqi sat by the window, next to the coach, and the president was on the other side of the aisle.
Xiaoqi, who was sitting by the window, was quite excited. As soon as he sat down, the flight attendant handed him a hot towel and lemon water, and asked if he wanted a blanket or pillow. There were also disposable wool slippers on the floor, which looked very soft.
Xiaoqi asked for a pillow and a blanket and changed into slippers.
Take the Spanish textbook out of your bag.
You can turn on your phone on the plane, but you have to set it to flight mode. Xiaoqi downloaded several basic Spanish tutorials, which you can listen to even in flight mode.
After sitting down, drinking some water, and changing into slippers comfortably, the passengers behind me came over one after another.
It suddenly became crowded and lively.
Xiao Qi looked at the president next to him, who had already put on an eye mask and closed his eyes to rest.
I acted like I had flown business class countless times.
Coach Steven doesn't have that feeling. He uses his phone to send messages and only needs to turn it off or adjust the flight mode when taking off.
Xiaoqi was quite curious, but tried not to show any frustration as if he was riding a plane for the first time.
Moreover, she has a very good temperament now, and she is still very impressive when she reads a book.
However, when the plane began to taxi, there was a rumbling sound, and her face became paler and paler. Her hands unconsciously grabbed the seat belt. She pulled with great strength, and the belt felt like it was about to break.
The coach next to him had just turned off his phone and turned around to see his excellent student with sweat on his forehead...
"Su, are you scared?"
Xiaoqi shook her head and then nodded. She was really scared.
At this time, the plane took off, and I suddenly felt weightless, my ears were rumbling, and I felt dizzy all over.
Maybe it has something to do with eating too much just now, and I feel a little nauseous...
She finally managed to get through this moment, and by the time the plane leveled off a little, she had already collapsed in her chair.
Steven was at a loss for words. His student was actually prone to airsickness. He could do any difficult horse riding exercises without any problem, but here he was afraid of flying.
Xiaoqi's heart was beating fast and she couldn't control it. She was just very scared.
She was a little embarrassed and didn't want to look at the coach. She turned her head to look out the window, but was immediately attracted by the scenery outside. There were actually white clouds floating outside, and she could also see the scenery below. The entire Meng City was small, standing in the vast ocean, where the sea and the land met, and the RVs below were like small matchboxes.
From this perspective, not only people seem small, but the entire city seems small.
Xiaoqi almost lay in front of the window, staring outside, feeling the smallness of the city and the insignificance of human beings. It felt like people were sometimes like ants, busy all the time without knowing what they were busy with.
It seemed as if her horizons had been broadened, and Xiaoqi's thoughts had changed a little. She was a relatively enterprising person, especially with the recent exams, she was extremely busy and had basically no time to stop and rest.
At this time, I feel that people should sometimes stop, look at the scenery along the road, feel different feelings, and combine work and rest.
To appreciate the specialness of life, you cannot really let yourself become a busy ant.
Thinking of this, the little seed in my heart seemed to grow a little bit more, and my mind became more open.
